Glick. I now have to put Prednisolone in both eyes, and Atropine Sulfate in my left.

Damn. Missed. Repeat! On target, fire for effect!

Yes, I hate eye drops, but if I make a game of it...

Last night, I had to put an ointment on my eye. I'm the kind of guy who freaks when they do the pressure test at the doctor's office, and I have to touch my own eye? Blearagh! I did it, eventually, but I hated it.

Can't I just do chemotherapy again?

*shudder*

you and me both.

(granted, I'm the one that, when the doctor asked, "Okay, your vision needs correction. Glasses or contacts?", winced visibly on the last word. The doc said, "Glasses it is!")

So I understand how you're feeling. :P

... my response to the "Glasses or Contacts" question has *always* been- "Glasses - why would I voluntarily put something in my own eye?"

Becasue, annoying as the contacts can be, the rigid ones keep your eyes from degenerating further (says the man who, after 8 years of getting new glasses every 6 months, has only had to change contact prescriptions twice in 25 years).

hint for putting in eye ointment....

first, wash your hands. next, squeeze out a ribbon of the eye ointment-then gently pull the lower eyelid outwards to make a pocket between your eye and eyelid. now, place the ribbon of ointment in the little pocket you've made, and twist the ointment tube to (hopefully) break off the ribbon of ointment (or let go of your lower eyelid, that should break off the ribbon of ointment).
Good luck!
